Real Madrid team news

Jude Bellingham will be suspended after the midfielder picked up his third Champions League yellow card of the season in the home leg win against Man City last month.

Besides, Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti will have to cop without the injured quartet Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, Dani Ceballos and Jesus Vallejo, but Federico Valverde is set to be available for selection after recovering from his setback and possibly start ahead of Lucas Vazquez at right-back.

Another expected change could see Raul Asencio get the nod over David Alaba.

Atletico Madrid team news

Atletico manager Diego Simeone will be without Cesar Azpilicueta and Koke due to leg and thigh injuries, respectively.

With six Champions League goals to his name this season so far, in-form Julian Alvarez has bagged six goals in his last five appearances across all competitions.

While Alvarez should start ahead of Alexander Sorloth alongside Antoine Griezmann in attack, either Marcos Llorente or Giuliano Simeone will start on the right.
